Cocaine

Cocaine is a song written by J.J.Cale in 1976 but made famous when Eric
Clapton covered it in 1977 and put it on his 1980 Slowhand album. I enjoy the JJ Cale version better that Clapton's. It's a little more relaxed and chill. But, my favorite cover of the song is from the Canadian glam-rock band Brighton Rock (off their Love Machine album). I'd love to see Halestorm cover this song sometime.The song is
supposedly an anti-drug song. Looking at the lyrics (below), I definitely see that. What do you think?
